| Obverse description | Central field displays the denomination inscription in three lines reading BAIOC / CINQVE / FANO, with the mint name at the bottom, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The papal title legend PIVS PAPA SEXTVS surrounds the design along the upper periphery, with the regnal year ANNO XXIII and the date 1797 appearing in the lower exergual area. The overall layout is characteristic of late 18th-century Papal States copper coinage. |

| Reverse description | Left-facing draped and veiled bust of the Madonna, depicted in profile with a halo rendered in a simple style consistent with late 18th-century Papal copper coinage. The surrounding legend SANCTA DEI GENITRIX (Mother of God) is distributed around the periphery of the coin, flanking the bust on both sides. The portrait is rendered in a restrained, devotional manner typical of Fano mint issues under Pius VI. |
